Cars

BMW Shirdlu H-Mod Racer- 1963

BMW Shirdlu H-Mod Racer- 1963

The car seen here is one-of-one; it was designed, built, and raced by Frazier Sibbald, George Olsen, and Howard Bliss, all of California. A triangulated square-tube frame was utilized, with a fiberglass nose and tail, aluminum doors, a hot-rodded BMW “airhead” from a 700 Sport Coupe, and LeGrand Formula car suspension were blended into this miniature Lotus 23B.

Bond 875- 1967

Bond 875- 1967

Lawrie Bond designed his first three-wheeler in 1948. His most famous was the Bond Minicar–the longest-lived and most successful of Britain’s minimal motoring cars. The replacement for the minicar was the Bond 875.

Borgward Isabella-1959

Borgward Isabella-1959

Carl F. W. Borgward was a hands-on automotive innovator from 1920 forward, but oddly, no cars bore the Borgward name until 1939, when the Hansa 2000 was renamed the Borgward 2000. Borgward started from scratch twice – once in the 1920s, and again after WWII, and was seen as the financier, engineer, designer, factory manager, and salesman!

Burton- 2002

Carter Town Shopper- 1942

Carter Town Shopper- 1942

At the outset of World War II, as American automobile factories were switching from making cars to making tanks, planes, jeeps, and munitions, a few independent car companies remained in production.

Casalini Sulky A18- 1975

Casalini Sulky A18- 1975

This Italian manufacturer of mopeds, scooters, trikes and small cars produced the amusingly-named Sulky 3-wheeler–a very small vehicle powered initially by a 50cc or 60cc engine.

Caterham 7 Blackbird- 2001

Caterham 7 Blackbird- 2001

The Caterham 7 Blackbird was launched in front of the world’s automotive press on July 8, 1999, at the F1 Circuit in Portugal, and the performance from this 1000cc sports car was amazing.

Caterham Super Seven- 1981

Caterham Super Seven- 1981

In June 1973, Caterham cars took over production of the Lotus Seven. The move was an historic one and secured Caterham’s long-term future. Three decades, and ten thousand sales later, Caterham has spawned an incredible forty different interpretations or limited editions of the Seven.

Chevrolet Corphibian- 1961

Chevrolet Corphibian- 1961

In 1961, Chevrolet introduced the Corvair 95 Greenbriar van and Rampside pickup. One Corvair that largely went unnoticed was the Corphibian prototype.

Chevrolet Corvair Wagon-1962

Chevrolet Corvair Wagon-1962

One of the most controversial cars to ever come from Detroit, the Corvair still sparks conversations and perpetuates myths to this day. With a ten-year production run and 1.8 million produced, it was also a surprising success story, considering how different it was from everything else coming from America’s automotive manufacturers at the time.

Chrysler International Farmobil- 1964

Chrysler International Farmobil- 1964

The Farmobil was designed by German agricultural giant Fahr (now Deutz-Fahr) as a light roadgoing truck/tractor. It was to have a maximum weight of 1000kg, a 180cm wheelbase, 140cm track, manual transmission, a PTO (power take-off), and a top speed of at least 80kph.

Cicostar LCS- 1979

Cicostar LCS- 1979

The Cicostar claimed “paperfree motoring, elegance, economy, ease of handling, and practicality.” This early, more rounded example is a bit less dated-looking than some of its contemporaries.

Citroën 15-Six(grey)-1953

Citroën 15-Six(grey)-1953

The Citroën “Traction Avant” (means front drive) was introduced in 1934 as the 7A; the 15-Six model was introduced in 1938, and was a radically different concept from the cars Citroën had been producing.
